allow to use a different database for reference data set
2022-01-15 (2.1)
restructuring the database to improve the performance of complex queries
adding new cameras

introduction of metadata.json and refactoring of input fields in index.html
adding new cameras

population index correction: Now the given population index is not only applied in the transformation from flux density to ZHR,
but also in the flux density calculation. So the population index is properly handled for the first time.
